Nowra Race 5

Pinebowl Supporters Club

Stake: $2,709

GOODBYE MATE (5) was below best at his last start when 7th at Bulli following a third place finish (30.08) at this track two back. Has never missed the frame here at the trip from three starts. Can make amends. MISS TESS (2) boasts a strong record this course with five wins and five minors from 15 tries. Was out of placings last time (20.97) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Can hit the frame with the right run. BORN LITTLE (7) latest effort finished 4th over 365m at this track beaten 6 lengths (20.93) behind Yuna Herrera in a Grade 5 on January 12. Looks one of the chances. CUMBRIA MEG (1) placed last time out at this track and distance - worth considering.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing second (21.23) at this track. Draws the cherry this time. Cannot be ruled out.

Latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 4/5 on January 5 over 365m at this track behind Manila Ghost beaten 5.5 lengths (20.97). The form out of the last run measures up. Hard to beat.

Has been in the minor money the last two runs, the latest finishing third (20.90) at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Looks to have the job ahead.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bulli (23.15) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 11 length seventh. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from seven starts. Leading chance.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 365m in 20.87. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 365m at this track at Grade 4/5 level. Not suited by wide draw, looking to others this time.
